yeah i know, for that price, from alienware, you could probably get :
AMD FX-53
2GB XMS RAM
6800 Ultra
2x400GB in RAID0
2x74GB in RAID0
DVD+RW
CD-RW
7.1 Platinum Pro
20" LCD
omg! that's incredible... I can't even read the fine print, but I can definately read the price, that's just rediculous, even for 1989 when things were just a wee bit cheaper.
